A homeless woman enrolled her son at a Norwalk school, even though she had a mailing address with friends.

This so called theft of $15,000 worth of education, cost the woman 12 years in prison, 5 of those years not eligible for parole.   

Her son, 6, will see his mother get out of prison when he's 11.  Or 18 if she doesn't make parole.

When Debt Is More Important Than People, The System Is Evil

The Empire of Debt has only one end-point: a death spiral. It is evil and must be dismantled.

Ethics has no place in the Empire of Debt. The financialized Status Quo is careful to limit the language used to describe the situation in Greece to the subtexts of "obligations" and "avoiding chaos."

The reality being masked is that debt is now more important than people. The suffering of the people of Greece is presented as a footnote to the financial play being staged; when the suffering is noted, it is presented with a peculiar set of unspoken subtexts:

Why The economy isn't growing.

 Have you ever made a bet to settle an argument when you were a child?  That your dad could beat up their dad?

Let's say you made and won that childish bet...for a million dollars.  Then you went on a spending spree, running up huge bills in farmville. But the money never appeared.  The bills for your farmville purchases came, but the million dollars never showed up. 

You can barely pay the minimum payment on the bills.  Nothing left over. 

When this happens to a whole economy, it's called a recession.

and we'll stay in the recession until "farmville" writes off our debt.

1.   Our outrage against SOPA had a long incubation phase.
  We knew about PIPA over a year ago.  Enough people educated themselves about it.  But instead of lapsing into apathy, they STAYED ANGRY.  People on reddit KNEW that SOPA would shut reddit down.  The anger kept people passionate about the issue.

2.  Powerful allies like Wikipedia.  When 96% of people have never heard of SOPA, then congress can 96% ignore the outrage.

3.  The media Presstitutes ignored or didn't cover SOPA, so they didn't have a counter-narrative to throw mud on SOPA opponents.
